Inman Buys Georgia Central.

by telegraph to the Asheville Citizen.l
New YORK, Aug: 3.-Reports of
the sale to John Fl. Inman of about
10000 shares Georgia Central stock
are confirmed by the head OF the
syndicate which bought Central of
the property at the last election. 1t
was stated on the street that the
sale was the result of trouble IN the
syndicate and that the stock was
sold at very low figures. At the Of
flee of Inman it was stated he left
the city Friday last, and would be
gone about one week; but his broth
er confirmed the report of the sale.
He said "Mr. Inman has bought a
large block of the stock but what
price was paid and who the seller
is do not feel at liberty to say"
Only members of the syndicate in
this city to>day deny thai the syn
dicate has gone to pieces, but state
instead that Inman has simply
bought an interest in it. The de-
parture of the vice-President H. B.
HolIins for Europe last week is as
serted to have been caused simply
by desire to avoid the worry con-
sequent upon the complications in
the syndicate. It is said the main
cause of uneasiness is the proposed
action of the Savannah, Dublin 4
Western Railroad which has decid-
ed on paralleling the Georgia Gems
